Blogmas Day Nine: Christmas Party OOTD

Welcome To Blogmas Day Nine Guys!



We recently had our work Christmas party, and personally, I always find them super stressful. First, trying to get ready and look halfway decent while finding something warm enough to not freeze in the minus thirty below Celsius weather that we usually have at this time of year. Second, being in a banquet room with hundreds of people all crowded together at once, and Lastly, trying to socialize with everyone you possibly can without accidentally ignoring someone or not finding the time to actually eat, all while usually being exhausted from a long day at work preceding the party.

Lol does anyone else find their work Christmas party stressful? Or am I just possibly overthinking this?

However, I thought it would be fun for today's Blogmas to do an OOTD (or outfit of the day) post on what I ended up wearing to the party. I didn't end up purchasing anything new for the party, as I found a dress in my closet that I thought was perfect, and since I love seeing other people do these posts, I thought I'd go ahead and do my own today.








This particular dress is one of my all time favorites, and is actually a Betsey Johnson dress that I bought a few years back to wear to my engagement party. I love how it's a classic cocktail dress, but the flared skirt adds a little bit more fun to the average dress, and the long sleeves make it much more suitable for a winter party dress in Saskatchewan. 

 Unfortunately, since it is an older dress it's no longer available, but the Betsey Johnson website does currently have several other cocktail dresses that I'm currently loving, and that I think would be perfect for a holiday party: these two are my favorites here and here.



And since it was freezing outside the night of the party, I knew normal tights would not work for me, and so I went with my all time favorite Ponte Pants


And lastly, I decided to pair it with my favorite holiday booties, instead of normal heels, and I was so happy with how the look came together overall. 

 My booties are by Sam and Libby, and I purchased them back when Canada still had Target. These are very similar however, and I think would be a great addition to any holiday dress. :)

Thanks so much reading guys. I had so much fun sharing an OOTD post for something different on my blog today, and I look forward to seeing you all back here tomorrow for Blogmas Day Ten.

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

  Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books. The Joy of Falling by Lindsay Harrel: About The Book: Eva and Angela must learn to live again. One step at a time. It has been fifteen months since Eva and Angela lost their thrill-seeking husbands in a scuba diving accident.

Meanwhile, Eva is stuck, unable to move forward after losing the love of her life and her source of inspiration. But then Eva gets a life-changing phone call. Befor...

A Refuge in Montana by Allie Pleiter Review

  Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :) It's been awhile, how have you all been doing? Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point. I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health. With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below: Rescue on the Farm A Montana Sized Secret Otherwise, keep on read...
